Instagram was initially launched as a photo-sharing app and the majority of its users still use it in that form. Instagram can also be accessed using its website. For a long time, Instagram’s website offered a very limited set of features. There was nothing much you could do other than browse your feed. Over a period of time, Instagram slowly rolled out more features for its websites, including the ability to upload videos and view stories. In its present form, the Instagram website offers a decent experience but still lacks a few functions. In this article, we show you how to upload an Instagram Reel using a PC or Mac.
